The Creeks, also known as the Muscogee, moved west primarily during the 1830s due to pressures from American expansion and government policies, including the Indian Removal Act of 1830. These conditions included increasing encroachment on their lands by settlers, violent conflicts, and the promise of new lands in the West. The removal process was often brutal, involving forced marches and significant suffering, leading to the deaths of many during the journey known as the Trail of Tears. Ultimately, the Creeks were relocated to designated Indian Territory, present-day Oklahoma, under duress and in search of security and autonomy.
